Nfw Protfftion for ^oodfn
TV flrtmen tim't the only ottes who
proJH from the ahnual rtmneit'e Traintnj
Count held on the campus We took the
Nberty to brush up on fire-fifhting tech
niques ouraetees recently althoufh we
*tood on the sidelines with several doaen
other spectators.
■ The lees bon of our lesson was out in
College View. Huge Hnuds of Mack smoke
roQtag skyward attracted our attention eo
we followed our impulses and went to
view the flames There in an open clear
ing, were two small wooden shacks Both
were enveloped with smoke and flame
coming from fires set within the three
sided structures. But as the fire continued,
one building crumbled to ashes The other
Mood firm, the fire burning itself out.
After the flames had disappeared a hoar-
of water on the one
remaining budding. A Mack costing wash
ed off the skies and in a few momenta the
building stood white and clean, its wooden
sides uncharred The reason for this amas
inf sight was a new fire resistant paint
Exposed t© flame, it bubbles up, forming
a layer of insulation which completely pro
tects the wood from (be heat After a fire,
if one should occur K the remaining paint is
washed off and the building repainted.
After seeing this demonstration we
came away from the testing gHmnds even
more convinced of the value of modem
fire fighting technique* and courses such
as the one now being held on the campus
to make these techniques available to all
the state,

We wonder if you noticed an item in
yesterday’s papers concerning the capture
u? a United States 24th Division Army
rhptam His capture was revealed in a
North Korean radio broadcast intercepted
Mi Washington It told of a group of "cow-
afrdly American prisoners of war' being
marched through the streets of the com
munist capital And it also told of Capt.
Ambrose H Nugent's regret* ' that he
Was a tool of American capitalists
We don't beheve Capt Nugent ever m
the world uttered the statementa attribut
ed to him In fact we wonder whet would
ever convince the communists that anyone
who knew anything at all of this country
gnd its speech habits would believe that
Nugnet had uttered the words he was sup
posed to have. Think thia "confession'*
over.
“As 1 see these thmgv I esa sot hut
regret that as a tenant of the Wall
Htreet mrirhaat* I hs»r participated m
a war which diaturtis the unlfkaihm
aad freedom of the peaeefal Korean
lUMUlir **
Did you ever read anything more ridi
culous unless k might have been the Rus
sian charge that South Korea invaded
North Korea f Or maybe it might have
been the declaration that .Soviet Russia
would maintain a "bands off' attitude in
Korea in line with Ha traditional policy of
non-intervention in the affairs of other
nations.
It is difficult to beheve the commun
ists expected anyone in this nation to
swallow the story they put out about Capt
Nugent. But the pitiful aspect of the ait
nation is this thore will probably be all
loo many people who are willing to believe
such g statement wa* actually made by
an Amencal officer
Until the day comes when all nations
may educate their peoples we must con
tent ourselves with the fact thut ignorance
arising from lack of opportunity for self-
improvement is communism s greatest al
ly. our greatest enemy.
A Ionian Senator Speaks Out
The voice of women is seldom heard in
American politic* W'lth few exoeptkms.
those of the ' op|«i*ite sex take little i>art
in our government In face of this it is
‘ encouraging to hear one of the country's
most prominent women sjeak out on a
tops which has Umg been in Jthe public
interest We refer to the remark* of Mr*.
Margaret (Tiaae Smith senator from
Maine She recently addressed the Senate
on "The Need for Patriotic Thinking.*' Ob
viously her remarks were intended for her
fellow Republican Senator McCarthy, for
whom she. together with many others,
apparently holds no great regard
“I think it is high time,’ Mr* Smith
said, "for the United States Senate and
its members to do some real soul Hearching
and to weigh our consciences a* to the
manner in which we are |«rfonaing our
’■ duty to the jieople of America and the
manner m which we are using or abutting
our individual power* and privileges -
Then sjxtkmg so that none would be m
doubt as to her meaning she continued
•Those of us who shout the loud«»t about
Amencamsm in making character ksaa*-
. /
Aggression May Lead To
Downfall, Acheson Believes
Korean Information
ins
n mat tons are ail too frequently those who.
by our own words and acta ignore some
ul the basic |trkicipsl* of Arseneanism ”
These principals Mr* Smith hated a* The
right to hold unpopular belief*, the right
to protest the right of independent
thought.'*
.Scoring both Republican* and Demo
crats who. hiding behind their congre*
sional immunity, make unwarranted at
tacks fcn public officiate. Mr* Smith aaid
"It i* strange that we can verbally attack
anyone else without restraint and with
full protection, and yet we hold ourselves
above the tame type of criticism here on
the Senate floor Surely the United States
Senate Is big enough to take self-cnticism
and self-appraisal '*
The words of Mrs Smith hold a vital
message for all of us even though we
are not members of the Senate When the
time comas that A merman a cannot freely
express their honest beliefs without fear
of rum under the pressure of unwarranted
attacks from government officials, then
we will have loat much for which we are
now fighting
